Good luck with the testing. I know not everyone agrees, but I don't think the official label always matters very much. What matters is finding what works for your kid. Perhaps he does fall on the Asperger's spectrum, but if all he needs is anxiety meds and some counseling to get him to a happy place, that's the primary goal.
I agree. Labels are useful for funding, for getting services, sometimes directing treatment and for a little understanding from school officials etc. But labels are limiting. They put people in a box and limit what others think they are capable of and that can affect what our children think they are capable of too. That is the dilemma isn't it?
I really appreciate everyone's input Thank you so much!
